Will he still get ESA if we aren't eligible for the means tested benefit?

Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice and info.
My husband is in the support group ESA and I'm currently his main carer but for my own sanity I need to get back to work. We are currently receiving Income Related ESA, will my husband still get ESA if we aren't eligible for the means tested benefit? I know there is no time limit for contribution based ESA if you're in the support group so will he still get that? I'm very confused. Thanks in advance x
